The Journal of Integrative Behavioral Science is in its inaugural year. JIBS was created by Dr. Lisa Wooley as a mechanism to provide the opportunity for publication of sound research produced by undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty at higher learning institutions. JIBS will serve as a means of strengthening the research experience at Grace College through encouraging students to network and gain research experience. In this way, JIBS will help undergraduate students prepare for graduate school. Additionally, as an open access journal, JIBS will facilitate the sharing of knowledge in the field of psychology as well as promote the integration of the behavioral sciences.
